Jimmy Kimmel and Drake Get Down With Twitter

If you don't know who Drake is, you'd better get familiar.

If you don't know who Drake is, you'd better get familiar. He's starring in the upcoming Gears of War 3, has his own MTV special (where he admits that he can only write songs on his BlackBerry and keeps an ample supply in case one crashes and burns), and now he's spitting some Twitter game with late night host Jimmy Kimmel in a hilarious sketch video. The music vid teaches aspiring musicians that when celebrities throw you Twitter lemons, don't write your own lyrics, just make musical lemonade!

Check out Drake, Jimmy, and Jimmy's iPad 3G in the video after the break.

AT&T Responds to iPad Email Leak, What You Should Do Now

News broke yesterday evening of a loophole in AT&T's website that allowed a group of hackers to obtain 114,000 email addresses from Apple iPad 3G owners.

News broke yesterday evening of a loophole in AT&T's website that allowed a group of hackers to obtain 114,000 email addresses from Apple iPad 3G owners. There were some high-profile victims — including US military personnel, members of the US Congress and more — but there were also tens of thousands of other users — like you and me — who could potentially have been exposed.

What's the worst that can happen? Since it was just the email addresses that were leaked, and not log-in information, you may find an upswing in spam. Thankfully, AT&T issued a quick response, saying that the loophole has already been closed but that doesn't mean that we should all go back to business as usual. I've talked a lot about what to do after your email gets hacked, and those tips are worth revisiting here.

If you're an iPad 3G owner, consider the following steps to protect your email address in the event of a breech after the break.

Breaking: Email Addresses of 114,000 iPad Owners Leaked

Bad news for iPad owners: 114,000 of their email addresses have been compromised.

Bad news for iPad owners: 114,000 of their email addresses have been compromised. A group of hackers obtained the email addresses of 3G iPad users through a security hole in AT&T's website. Additionally, they obtained individual iPad identification numbers used to connect to the Internet.

The list of exposed addresses includes military personnel, members of Congress, New York Times execs, the mayor of New York City, and many more prominent figures, not to mention tens of thousands of other users. The security breach came through AT&T's website (not Apple's) and eventually, the group who found the loophole notified AT&T, and it has since been closed.
